“Martha Wainwright is an artist who has absolutely no fear of emotional honesty, a quality that has long figured strongly in her work…and she has plenty to open up about on her fifth album. …Come Home to Mama isn’t always an easy or cheery listen, but anyone familiar with Martha Wainwright’s work knows not to expect that; it is a compelling, engaging, and emotionally powerful set of songs from a strikingly talented singer and songwriter, and this is her most intimate and affecting work to date.” –All Music Guide
